DLA wait times part 16 (2023)

[JME85]

Following on from part 15…

Hi guys called and I have been awarded mrc and lrm award was made yesterday I am so relieved the wait is over !!!.
Scan date 15/6
18 weeks today
My son has epilepsy/autism and I sent two diagnosis letters and support letter from senco the best of look to you all!!!!

I got unlucky with a really unhelpful person! Only told it takes 18.5 weeks before even going to DM didnt even check my account for any updates just basically said I don’t need to keep ringing 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Congratulations @Natelias 🥳

What’s your scan date? Ring again! X

Congratulations 🥳

With a DM expect a decision in the next few days and keep a look out for a text

Still on hold. I'm thinking maybe I picked the wrong option. I did existing claim option 6. Anyone shed any light? Xx

I have the same text date!
I don't know my scan date though...
I never got any letter other than one asking for more information on my immigration status.
I'm very tempted to call to know what my scan date is... But i'm guessing it must be similar to yours.

What’s your scan date @Hannahlou94xx? fingers crossed for you x

Good luck for everyone today 🩷

@Natelias and a massive congratulations to you and your little one 🥰

@Mummyrach13 15/06 xx

@MelTom88 im also on hold also picked option 6 that’s what I’ve used the three times I’ve called previously. What’s your scan date lovely?

Good luck to those calling today and congratulations to all awarded!
I'm trying to learn here as much as I can...
I googled but couldn't find anything that made sense, what is MRC, IRM and MR decision?
Im trying to learn to see if there's anything else I could do to support the application for my boy.

@Mumtotwoboys121 Scan date 22.6. Im 17 weeks today but I saw a couple of 27.6 dates have already been awarded so thought I’d try! I’ll defo keep calling them! I can’t believe how long this is taking for us all! X

Finally off the phone. Awarded HRC and LRM. Sobbed. Poor woman on the phone was lovely.

Good luck to all those waiting now.

Waiting on decision for my younger son scan date 22/6

Good luck to everyone one x
scan 23/6 guess still couple weeks to go I guess , 2 letters saying just the normal and no text ,

MRC - mid rate care
LRM - low rate mobility
MR - mandatory reconsideration

the first two are rates if awarded and MR is if you have been declined then you can do an MR to get them to look at it again that takes roughly 3 weeks.

Does anybody know with UC, if/when they calculate your backpay do they send a letter or add to your payments section with the next UC payment or add to payment section as random 1 off payment?

@mo3x im 23/06 and trying to call as well good luck

@Cocopops22 best of luck to you too 🤞🏽 and hopefully not much longer for us now x

Thank you so much for your reply!
That was very helpful.
I think my scan date is around 25/07, I never got a letter, only a text.
My boy is partially deaf and is on hearing aids, being assessed for autism and sensory process disorder. I didn't send anything on the autism and SPD... Only the full medical evidence about the hearing impairment. I feel like I should send more information about the behaviour problems as well...
Would it be better if it's from a third person? The school notes were send with the first lot so I was thinking of a family friend maybe?

You should be any day now @Hannahlou94xx good luck xx

Mine was 15/6 scan date @Muva25 xx

@MelTom88 oh ok congrats hope it makes life that little easier for you and lil one xx still on hold here 50 mins so far 😬

I don’t actually know the official scan date as didn’t get a letter however it was received the 25/7 as sent it special delivery. Judging by others who received their 1st text the same day as us have scan dates of 25th and 26th 🤷‍♀️ Let us know if you call x
